Jailed after stealing nearly $1m from mother

Jailed after stealing nearly m from mother

A man expressed his disappointment after his sister, Julie Elisabeth Morton, was sentenced to three years two months in prison for stealing nearly $1 million from their mother. Despite the theft, Morton was not ordered to repay the stolen funds, leaving her brother feeling betrayed and devastated.

John Morton, the victim of the crime, stated that the lack of reparation was a “slap in the face.” He believed that the sentence and the absence of a requirement for repayment would not deter others from committing similar offenses. Morton’s children helped cover some of the stolen money, but their mother was not held accountable for her actions.

Julie Morton had enduring power of attorney over her mother’s assets and used the stolen money for personal expenses like jewelry, clothing, landscaping, and even Amazon purchases. This was not her first offense, as she had a previous conviction for stealing from a real estate company in 1997.

Despite showing limited insight into her actions, Morton described her compulsion to steal as a way to feel better. Her brother, however, dismissed her claims of situational linkage between the two crimes, stating that it was simply an opportunity for her to commit fraud.

The judge emphasized the vulnerability of the victim, who had trusted Morton to manage her finances. He acknowledged the significant impact on the victim’s son, who did not receive his full inheritance as a result of his sister’s crimes. Mr. Morton expressed concerns about his sister repeating her actions in the future.

Overall, the sentencing and lack of reparation left the victim feeling vindicated but concerned about the possibility of his sister committing similar offenses in the future.
